The card information structure (CIS) is information stored on a PC card that contains information about the formatting and organization of the data on the card. The CIS also contains information about:
- The type of card
- Supported power supply options
- Supported power saving features
- The manufacturer
- Model number
- and so on.
When a card is unrecognized it is frequently because the CIS information is either lost or damaged.

Famous quotes containing the words card, information and/or structure:
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (15931633)
